Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon Gayle Stellas made our relocation from New Jersey to Illinois incredibly smooth. We were searching for a forever home in a top school district, and her deep knowledge of Northbrook and the surrounding areas was invaluable. She looked out for our family every step of the way, pointing out things we might have missed and giving honest, thoughtful guidance. When we fell in love with our current home, Gayle helped us put together a strong offer, and her great relationships with local agents gave us even more confidence in the process. Thanks to her expertise and care, we found the perfect home. I highly recommend Gayle to anyone looking in this area. Joann Max

Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon Gayle Stellas was an incredible find, and I will recommend her to everyone that I know. Her energy and determination got my home sold. After another broker had the listing and just waited for responses without any offers, I thankfully turned to Gayle. Gayle knew exactly how to get my home sold. She went about staging it and adding flair, all out of her own pocket. She would follow up with brokers after showings for their feedback and sometimes was able to convince them to get their buyers back for a second look. Gayle Stellas is the best. I now consider her a friend. Howard Silver

Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon We had the privilege of working with Gayle Stellas of Baird & Warner as sellers at first and then as buyers. Gayle was wonderful to work with and she is just excellent at her work. Gayle sold our home within a day of being listed for above asking price. We were thrilled! She looked out for us every step of the way, from negotiations to close. She was always available, responsive and reliable, which we appreciated very much. Gayle patiently spent day after day showing us homes to help us find “the right one” to buy as she would often say. She cared about what we were looking for and what would make us happy. Her wide experience and wealth of knowledge helped us find exactly what we wanted. Gayle made everything easy and we couldn’t have done any of this without her. Mary Vasiliadis

Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon Gayle's strengths are in marketing and preparing a property for showings. I was impressed by her respect for the homeowner's property and her sensitivity to the feelings and opinions of the owner. My home went under contract on the third day of listing and sold with minimal addendums. I will recommend Gayle to friends and acquaintances in this Northshore area. S.H. Vonnegut
Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon As the saying goes, 'if I look in the dictionary under 'Real Estate Agent extraordinaire', you will find Gayle's picture. All kidding aside. To us, there is only one person that comes in at number 1, and its Gayle. I have never sold a house before and the prospect was very intimidating. I consider myself fortunate that I had known of Gayle and knew she was a Real Estate agent, but for all of you who are not that fortunate, I can’t tell you strongly enough, Gayle is the one and only Real Estate agent you will ever need!!!!! The first daunting question which overwhelmed me was how do you narrow the field down from all the many Real Estate agents and companies that are out there and pick the right one? What really cemented my decision to hire her is that I actually had inadvertently heard her talking about real estate to another. At that time I could hear the passion in her voice about representing her clients, when I had heard that I knew that my search was over, she was that agent that we needed to choose. When we made the decision to go with Gayle she took over a process that went from slow, with us, to overdrive, with her in the driver's seat. She moved at a very methodical, determined and precise pace. From the first day that we hired her, she went right to work, immediately she laid out a plan for us to get the best price, at the maximum profit. She then brought her dedicated and talented team of professional and experienced photographers to shoot the rooms of the house. She created a brochure, featuring those pictures, along with a text describing the highlights of the house and property, inviting and enticing prospective buyers to view this property. It was now time to show the house to prospective buyers. In my line of work I hear pitches from salesmen all the time and they will say anything to have me buy their product. In the same way, Gayle has heard all the stories from prospective buyers and she can see right through their 'tall tales' of why they should not pay the asking price. When Gayle told me that one of the first people she saw was ‘working her before they entered the house' I knew I picked the right person for the right job. In the end our house sold within a month for way over asking. Her effervescent personality, attention to every single detail, kind and gentle manor, professionalism along with her knowledge and experience are why, in our eyes, she is absolutely the best at her craft. I can say, unequivocally, without reservation, that I wholeheartedly recommend in the strongest possible terms, Gayle Stellas and her team of professionals at Baird & Warner for the purposes of selling, or buying real estate or a house!!

Part 2 of my review...next are the contracts, and Gayle and her team are experts at preparing them. Having years of experience navigating this legal process, in order to write the best contracts which covers every single legal mater. Gayle will lead you though step by step, answering all your questions. Another invaluable trait that you get with Gayle services is that she is able look 10 steps ahead of everyone at all different scenarios, that might affect the sale of the house, such as ‘what if this goes wrong’, then it could have a domino effect and the result could effect our final price, so is it worth our attention?' She is so knowledgeable, predicting and pointing out what the buyers agents questions will be, enabling the sellers to address those issues before they become an concern. In the end our house sold in the month, which I never thought possible. Gayle set a price, which was fair market value, but because of her style and salesmanship she was able to start bidding war, in which we ended up with a much higher price than we started with. When the house sold we finally came to the end of this journey and it was only through the efforts of Gayle and her expertise in the area of Real Estate. Her effervescent personality, attention to every single detail, coupled with her kind and gentle manor, professionalism along with her knowledge and experience are why, in our eyes, she is absolutely the best at her craft.

Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon After deciding to downsize and sell our home, we chose Gayle. We were very happy with her professionalism and the attention she gave to market our home. We put it on the market before we traveled abroad for two months, and she kept us informed and up to date, ultimately obtaining a buyer. She went above and beyond in handling all the details while we were gone. For positive results I very highly recommend Gayle! Afrodite Vranas
Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon Gayle is one of the most professional Realtors I know. Even though I have been in the Real Estate business for many years, we had Gayle find our new home on the North Shore. Our criteria were quite specific being our third home in the Glenview/Northbrook area. With her tenacity and referral network, she was able to locate and negotiate the purchase of our new home which checked all the boxes. We could not be more pleased and happy. Thank you Gayle! William Vranas

Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon My husband and I are very grateful to Gayle for her exceptional help during our search for a home in the north shore area and while we were still living in Denver. Gayle's extensive and comprehensive knowledge of our location of interest, her diligence, as well as her attention to details were key for us to successfully be able to buy the house we wanted and, in the location, we were targeting. This was our third time purchasing a house and we had the best support by far. Gayle went above and beyond to not only help us search and purchase, but she also taught us a lot of things about the houses and communities we were interested in. Gayle continues to be a source of help and support for us even after we bought the house, as she is very knowledgeable and always ready to help. We highly recommend her to all of our family and friends. Blerta Hasimi
Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon Gayle is a pleasure to work with, and the results are obvious. We had a complicated situation, as my elderly parents required 24/7 care and moved in with me out of state. They urgently needed funds to pay for their medical and assisted living expenses and were motivated to sell their condo in Skokie. The whole process was done 100% remotely, via email phone calls and text. Gayle provided sound advice on pricing and did a tremendous job hiring the cleaning and furniture removal crews to make the place look its best. She provided timely updates and spot on suggestions. As a result, the condo was prepped, staged, and sold in a record time. Highly recommend Gayle for her experience, knowledge of the market and the human touch. Mark B
Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon Our realtor, Gayle Stellas, was an absolute pleasure to work with. She went above and beyond to ensure we ended up with the house (not just the first house, but also the second house) that we wanted, no matter the time or the effort required. If you go with Gayle, know that you're not only getting a realtor, but an ally and a friend. Marius O.
Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon I had a great experience using Gayle to sell my home after living there for 28Yrs. Which was an emotional experience to leave a home that you love and built. She was very compassionate and professional which meant a lot to me. Gayle also helped in my initial process of purchasing my new home Which was going to be built. She came with me when I signed the contract to make sure everything was done properly. She also referred me to a real estate attorney to handle the selling of my old home and buying of my new home. I feel she really went out of her way to go the extra mile! Thank you again Gayle!

Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon With her extensive knowledge of the North Shore real estate market and her ability to really listen to my specific must-haves for my new home, Gayle Stellas quickly tailored our search accordingly to make the best use of my time and help find me a new place in just a few weeks. When a condo became available that really suited my needs, she made sure I got to see it that first day and worked with me that night to put together an offer. Gayle continued to work with me for the next two days to present a winning bid over four other offers. She was a strong advocate for me from the initial search, through the inspection and closing. I can wholeheartedly say Gayle Stellas knows the real estate market well, listens to her clients’ needs to hone in on the right result for them, and pro-actively represents their interests throughout the entire search-to-sale process. She is a true professional in every way! Elaine Buscaglia
Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon We can sum up our experience with Gayle Stellas in one word - WOW! We were out-of-town sellers needing to sell an inherited property with missing paperwork and no ability to be around for the sale. We came into town for just a few days and Gayle wowed us with her initial presentation. We left town two days later, leaving everything in her very capable hands. She took care of every detail (there were a lot!), got us multiple offers for far more than we thought the property was worth, and had us closed and paid in less than three weeks! We can’t speak highly enough of her professionalism, dedication, and market knowledge. In the scheme of things this certainly wasn’t a big dollar listing but she made us feel as if it was her most important one. She turned what we expected to be a very stressful situation into a terrific experience and we can’t recommend her highly enough! Thank you Gayle! Diana Bravin

Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon This is the second time I’ve asked Gayle to help me save my home. From the beginning she listened to all my preferences about listing the house and still managed to get me a buyer within days. My first buyer backed out and yet Gayle has kept the momentum going with other agents that she found a new buyer within a week. Over the years I’ve known Gayle has always checked in without being intrusive, treating me like a client not a transaction. Since I was hurting and selling at the same time, I relied on Gayle to do a host of little things like passing my water bill, getting the town transfer tax, coordinating things with my closing attorney…really above and beyond. Gayle thanked me for the privilege of working with her. She really had it backward because the privilege was mine Wayne Nixon

Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon Gayle came very highly recommended to us. On our first meeting she came prepared with comps in our area and shared her in-depth knowledge of housing market trends in our area. She gave us excellent advice on how to stage our home to make it visually appealing on social media. She also guided us  in making changes to enhance the sale of our home (e.g. pulling up old carpeting to reveal beautiful hardwood floors). Gayle provided contacts for painters, plumbers, carpenters, etc. and would meet them at the house if we were not able to supervise. All her contacts were professional, efficient and competitively priced for the area. As offers came in Gayle showed her negotiating skills keeping us informed every step of the way and provided advice to get a fair price for our house. We listed our house on 3/1/19 and we closed four months later. I highly recommend Gayle as a selling or listing agent.

Her expertise on the local Chicagoland market and her keen eye for detail and negotiation has served us well. Recently, we asked her to come and  provide advice on the potential sale of our home in Skokie. She came over, made a few inexpensive and easy recommendations and then had the house listed within two weeks. Given her thoroughness and connections, we had two offers within 24 hours and sold above list price within three days! If you are putting a house on the market in the Chicagoland area- I can recommend no better listing agent. Jeellinger

When we had a question or concern, Gayle followed up immediately. She went above and beyond our expectations. During the walk through, she knew  exactly what to look for and check. We couldn't be happier with our choice to use Gayle. She is a true professional. tina atsaves
Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon Gayle went above and beyond for us! She is very knowledgeable and every house we liked she did a thorough research until we found the one we loved.

Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon Gayle Stellas did a fantastic job for us. My Uncle needed to move to assisted living and it was important for him to get top dollar for his home. As his Trustee, it was very important to me that the sale of his home be handled well. The property was listed within a few days of contacting Gayle. She  brought in staging and had beautifully professional pictures and 3D video done. We received multiple offers and Gayle negotiated to get us the best possible offer. We closed within a few weeks. I cannot say enough about Gayle. She is energetic, creative and persistent. She treated us like family. I highly recommend her. akm64
Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon Gayle is patient and loyal and understanding. She is very knowledgeable on many areas and gives great insight into the decision-making process and ensures you are comfortable with your decision, now and in the future. Our process was lengthy as we were looking for something very specific. Gayle  called us one day and had the perfect home waiting for us (which met all of the items on our extensive checklist). She knew exactly what we wanted, and made the buying process (for our first home) very smooth as she was there to hand-hold us through the entire way! There’s not many people in any field of business who would go above and beyond like Gayle. I would recommend her a thousand times over. Thanks again Gayle!! Edward M Allen
Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon Gayle just helped my family of 4 find our "forever home". She worked with my wife and I in our search, determining our key criteria, showing us diverse properties within our budget in several communities and even providing snacks for our long evenings of showings. As parents of two toddlers, our  time was very limited in when we could view homes, and Gayle made every effort to accommodate our schedule and prioritize our searches. Within 3 rounds of showings, we had identified 2 properties we were very interested in and, within hours, Gayle was able to provide us with a list of updates on both. Once we decided to put in our offer, she met with us to figure out our starting price and worked tirelessly to make sure that we not only got the home we wanted, but got it at a great price. She was personally present with us through every step of the process and continues to check in regularly. We continue to walk around our new home and neighborhood thinking to ourselves, "How did we get so lucky?!" I would recommend Gayle to anyone and will certainly pressure other family members to use her in the future. She is respectful of all people and makes a sincere effort to be present, honest and helpful. mamacon83
Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon We were referred to Gayle by a neighbor. From our preliminary meeting through the selling of our home, she made the process super seamless. She is extremely knowledgeable about the community; listing/staging of our home; creating interest of buyers; aware of market trends; very responsive; and  always prioritized our best interest. We moved out of state and she was able to keep everything moving smoothly and closed the deal within a very reasonable amount of time. There were so many little details that we would've missed out on as first-time sellers; thankfully, Gayle's attention to detail never missed a beat. We would highly recommend Gayle to our friends and family. ejpark227

Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon After Gayle got us an amazing deal on our very first home we knew we wouldn't go anywhere else. Since then we have sold and bought an additional home with Gayle and have always been very impressed with both her selections and area knowledge. dnblackfield
Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon Gayle is a terrific realtor. She represented us as the sellers in a tough, buyer-friendly market. Her advice was sound and reasonable. At every step of the way, she had our best interest at heart. She has real drive and energy; I would recommend her without reservations. If she wasn't able to  pick up the phone, Gayle texted to let me know when she could talk and she followed through. I really appreciate that respect for time. We had already moved out of state when Gayle started to represent our home. Our absence provided its own set of difficulties. If anything went wrong with the property, we weren't there to deal with it. At one point, the French drainage system wasn't working properly so Gayle arranged for a professional to come solve the problem. She had a full list of professionals at her fingertips to call when needed. She even went to Lowes and picked up the replacement piece and I payed over the phone. Gayle really went the extra mile for us. loaytheresa

Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon Gayle was extremely helpful with guiding my wife and I in purchasing our first home together. Her experience and professionalism helped to put us at ease during an otherwise stressful time relocating and planning a wedding. She responded to phone calls and emails immediately, and would make herself  available anytime we were interested in seeing a house. From the beginning, it was obvious that she truly cared that we found a house that we were comfortable with and could afford, and that continued through the closing with her excitement taking our first picture as homeowners receiving the keys. We would recommend Gayle without reservation for any of your real estate needs. Brian Vesci
Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon Star icon We loved working with Gayle. We were first time home buyers, and really needed everything explained to us, down to the very basics. She gladly did that, and more. She was very good at telling us what we needed to hear, especially when the process started wearing on us and we started considering  options she knew we wouldn't be happy with. She worked within our tight schedules (both work full-time, with a 1-yr old), but again, gave us the push we needed to move a little faster when a good option was available. Has continued to check in with us and provide even more advice on owning our first home. Would definitely recommend. aeschilders

Reviews on Zillow
We can sum up our experience with Gayle Stellas in one word – WOW! We were out-of-town sellers needing to sell an inherited property with missing paperwork and no ability to be around for the sale. We came into town for just a few days and Gayle wowed us with her initial presentation. We left town two days later, leaving everything in her very capable hands. She took care of every detail (there were a lot!), got us multiple offers for far more than we thought the property was worth, and had us closed and paid in under three weeks! We can’t speak highly enough of her professionalism, dedication, and market knowledge. In the scheme of things this certainly wasn’t a big dollar listing but she made us feel as if it was her most Important one. She turned what we expected to be a very stressful situation into a terrific experience and we can’t recommend her highly enough! Thank you Gayle!

We were able to leverage Gayle's expertise with the Chicago area when we relocated from Seattle. With her help, we were able to find our dream home in an excellent school district. Gayle worked tirelessly on our behalf to ensure we got a great deal.

Great experience, she always goes the extra mile. She found us our house in Park Ridge many years ago, and was very effective in helping us sell it earlier this year. She even helped us find an agent to work with in Michigan who helped us find our dream lake house. A pleasure to work with!

A realtor who goes above and beyond for her clients. Gayle is very detail oriented and pays attention to all the little things that are necessary in a buy or sell. I really enjoyed working on both sales of my homes, the staging aspect was quite exceptional along with the excellent photos taking of the homes. If you ever need someone to help you in any way , Gayle is the one to be there for you and your family, since in the end, she does become one of your family members!

Gayle Stellas is extremely knowledgeable, professional, courteous and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a new home or apartment. She provides excellent guidance as well as patience especially to those who are buying their first home. Gayle personally helped me through the purchasing of my first home and I could not be any happier. She was there through the entire process and provided much needed advice every step of the way. She was able to search and show homes that matched the criteria that I was looking for in a new home.Gayle, thank you very much for all that you have done. I look forward to working with you again when I buy my next home.Anthony

As an attorney with many real estate agent friends, i thought I’d represent myself in the purchase of a condo until I met Gayle Once she showed me my 1st property, I felt confident she’d represent my interests better than i could and I was right .Gayle is a very proactive, resourceful, professional and committed advocate for her clients Quick to respond & keep me informed, she jumped thru many hurdles for me. I never thought she’d keep the deal together with such a perfect storm of problems. But she kept me positive & found a way to get it done. I highly recommend her services. Thank you Gayle for your knowledge and persistence. You really deserve this review

We were looking to move to Chicago during the Covid-19 pandemic. Gayle was focused and determined to get us into the properties we wanted to see. She made it happen and we were able make an offer on a 3 bedroom condo before a lot of other potential buyers were able to see it. We worked on an appropriate offer and got it accepted very quickly. Gayle then was able to help get all the documentation we needed from the sellers side to make a 30 close happen, and she also had great recommendations on painters and floor refinishers which we utilized. We would definitely recommend Gayle Stellas!
